I'll donate
I'm with this guy. Is there any other way for us to donate money? I'm not old enough to have a debit card.

Prepaid cards are just like a debit/credit card and can be used on PayPal :thumbup:

You can hit drew's link and it will show the donations
I recommended wepay.com because some members didn't want to use Paypal.
I'm fairly certain that you don't need a credit/debit card. Like Paypal, a bank account may be used (I'd recommend the Microdeposit Verification method which takes an extra day or two. "Those deposits will show up on the account in 1-2 business days").
As mentioned, a prepaid card is also an option.
I suppose if Paypal is your only option, it wouldn't be a big deal to take donations through there as well. drewwalton1921 will have to confirm.
EDIT: His Paypal address was already posted earlier in the thread, so I doubt it would be a problem.
That said, it would be nice to keep track of the donations in one place.
Thank you all for helping move this effort forward.

Donations under Paypal dossent take money out do they?
In my experience, if you send him money as a "donation" then usually PayPal does charge a fee. If you sign into your Paypal account and send money from your Paypal balance as a personal payment (gift) to his address, then I think you may be able to avoid the fee. I think that any payments by card will have processing fees.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

You are correct, anything that involves processing a credit/debit card involves a fee but 'gifting' from one paypal to another waives that fee I believe as well. I have not done it but I've looked it up and that is what others are claiming too. Paypal also states that fees only apply to transactions that involve debit/credit and selling.

$9.50 sent (sorry didn't think about credit card fees or I'd have done $10.75.) Will try and do another $10 after pay day.

Wow guys, we're at $80/$165 already! If anyone wishes to donate via paypal, my paypal email is drewwalton19216801@gmail.com. All paypal donations will be re-donated to the WePay campaign to better keep track of everything.
So, it appears as though VM has taken away our ability to use Fastboot (by zeroing out mmcblk0p14) with the ZV5 update. I just tried it, then attempted to boot into recovery and was greeted by the stock recovery instead of Fastboot. Those crafty jerks!

The new update patches the existing stock recovery so I'm sure if you've got it zeroed out it will rewrite it. You should just be able to re-zero it out if that's what you did before

On another note, I'm still on zv4. I have no idea what any of this stuff is though, so it might not be of any use at all, but if you need test something on my phone just let me know.

revert back to zv4 via the jcase root tot. i know you lose zv5 update,but that can be resolved after clockwork is available. also the update truly doesnt do much for signal. all i found in it were patches to hinder rooting and prevent recovery modding. because quickmemo sure isnt much of an update.

Understand their desire to protect their product, but this is what open source is all about. If they don't want us tinkering, don't sell the product!!
Looking forward to seeing a break through!!

Since the update I have not had a 67 or 104 error. Both of which I'd get almost everyday. The 104 more than the 67. This happened on wifi as well as 3G.
I've also seen a slight improvement in 3G connectivity. I do still get an overheating device at times when it can't or won't connect to 3G.

I understand, I put the stock recovery back in place before updating.
I zeroed it out right before powering down (post ZV5-update). Then I immediately attempted to boot directly into recovery expecting to see Fastboot, but it booted the stock recovery instead.
I didn't allow the phone to boot normally after zeroing out the partition (I booted directly into recovery), so I didn't expect that /system/recovery-from-boot.p would be able to write the stock recovery back to the partition.
FWIW, I was still able to write a CWM build to the partition while booted normally and then get boot loops after trying to boot into recovery.
The next time it boots normally, the stock recovery is written back.
Perhaps the zeroing-out didn't work properly, but I think I did it correctly.
Maybe if I rename/delete /system/recovery-from-boot.p then I will still be able to access Fastboot.

Gave it a try on mine. Zeroed the recovery block and tried rebooting into recovery. I was able to get into fastboot and wasn't able to get out to reboot normally until I wrote the stock recovery back with the "fastboot flash recovery" command. Tried pulling battery and even the fastboot reboot command and took me right back into fastboot.
Once I wrote recovery back it rebooted into rom normally
Zeroed recovery block again and rebooted phone without trying to acess recovery and it wrote recovery back upon reboot
Zeroed recovery again and flashed one of the non working cwm builds and verified it bootlooped. Got phone to boot normally and sure enough it rewrote stock recovery.
So what ever LG was nice enough to patch for us the phone checks for changes to stock recovery and if it finds something it restores the stock recovery from boot block.

sounds like a mess to me. i redid the original zv4 tot file. wonder if the update patches stuck as far as recovery goes even after reverting with the tot file?
